Embrace your inner skintellectual with 2019's beauty
buzzwords to know, says Jessica Diner.
VITAMIN F
For skin-barrier strengthening
Also known as linoleic acid, vitamin F - an essential fatty acid
found in rosehip, sunflower, olive and flaxseed oils - is an unsung skincare
hero. Its omega-rich structure helps to keep the skin's lipid barrier strong
and to deliver a healthy-looking complexion.
NIACINAMIDE
For brightening and hydrating
This wonder ingredient has grown in popularity thanks to its
effectiveness at treating acne and breakouts by reducing oil production, as
well as its ability to brighten, hydrate, enhance collagen
production and help reduce hyperpigmentation.
production and help reduce hyperpigmentation.
MANDELIC ACID
For exfoliating sensitive skin
Meet the much-hyped new beast of the exfoliating-acid category.
Derived from bitter almond extract, mandelic acid removes dead skin cells to leave
the epidermis renewed - and its larger molecule size means it doesn't penetrate
skin as deeply as other acids, making it ideal for sensitive types. It can also
be used to treat pigmentation, scarring and acne.
MARULA OIL
For dry, sallow skin
This
lightweight oil is packed with antioxidants and omegas, and has four times more
vitamin C than oranges. Great for even the most sensitive skins, it is
anti-microbial, non-irritating and non-pore-clogging, so it can be used on all
skin types, including oily. For winter, try swapping out your night cream for
this and see the difference.
COPPER
For lacklustre skin
If silver is popular in skincare for its antibacterial
properties, copper is its super-charged cousin that gives skin radiance. It has
become more prevalent as studies have found copper peptides to be a brilliant
anti-inflammatory antioxidant against pollution and stress. It also wards off
DNA damage, making it a great anti-ageing ingredient.
RETINOL
For supreme anti-ageing
OK, so retinol isn't new, but the latest formulas are. As an
ingredient, it had a bad rep for causing dryness, but the next-generation
offerings are formulated to be gentler. An anti-ageing pillar, it increases
cell turnover and boosts collagen for a smoother complexion. Word to the wise:
always use with an SPF.
SQUALANE
For ultimate hydration
Ideal for sensitive and dry skin or for those who feel that
traditional face oils break them out, plant-derived squalane - which normally
comes from olives or sugarcane - is most loved because it is lightweight and
non-greasy in texture but deeply hydrating. Its ability to regulate oil
production makes this an ideal choice for those with oily skin too.
